It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-68221 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68221/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68221/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-68221","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68221/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-68221","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-68221","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-68221","GHSA-pm6p-p8m3-vpmm","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-68221"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A memory leak in the Nuvoton NPCM video driver allows attackers to cause denial of service by exhausting kernel memory through repeated device binding or unbinding.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmedia: nuvoton: npcm-video: fix memory leaks in probe and remove\n\nnpcm_video_probe() allocates the npcm_video structure with kzalloc_obj()\nbut never frees it on any probe error path or in npcm_video_remove(),\nleaking the allocation on every failed probe and every normal unbind.\n\nAdditionally, when npcm_video_setup_video() fails, the reserved memory\nassociation established by of_reserved_mem_device_init() in\nnpcm_video_init() is not released, leaking the rmem_assigned_device\nentry on the global list.\n\nFix both by adding kfree(video) to all probe error paths and to\nnpcm_video_remove(), and adding the missing\nof_reserved_mem_device_release() call when npcm_video_setup_video()\nfails.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"media: nuvoton: npcm-video: fix memory leaks in probe and remove","id":"CVE-2026-68221","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"media: msi2500: Return queued buffers on start_streaming() failure","id":"CVE-2026-68222"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"media: nxp: imx8-isi: Add missing v4l2_subdev_cleanup() in crossbar and pipe","id":"CVE-2026-68220"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-08-10","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-17","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A memory leak in the Nuvoton NPCM video driver allows attackers to cause denial of service by exhausting kernel memory through repeated device binding or unbinding.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68221/"}
